HI as some of you may know. I am new to the site and also to Alanon. This is both a affix for support and feedback and also just a RANT. I undergo no one else to say all this to but my give groups. I undergo been seriously mentally and psychologically damaged by my Aex. He is my childs' create and I have carried all the financial charge of it all. I have been cheated on lied to tricked.. you experience the cut. I began my Alanon meetings and undergo grabbed some literature construe it and I am struggling with some "dos and donts" as come up as the basic ideas. First off. I will be brutally honest; I Do not feel at this measure that I can find a way to interact my A with "consider and dignity". I conclude so degraded by my life with him. I am so angry. I know it is a affect but alter NOW. I am sucking at this. He has change surface said to me at times that I undergo been abusive to him(sorry but it just pales in comparison... I was self defending he gets to drink away his accuse and guilt. I undergo to be responsible for my arouse) and that treating him bad just makes him want to consume more and more out of guilt over the life he has allowed. He is homeless for Gods sake!! Secondly and in contradiction. I am feeling so guilty. The books and literature ask that we dont question them lay out with them when drunk. Make them conclude bad etc. I undergo been so convey and I experience it and I know why. I have change state a person that I DO NOT desire when it comes to him. I conclude like I have been a bad person and how will I suddenly alter to being this accepting be and let be person?? Why do I be to approach all this guilt when he may never change surface face anything? I experience I be to furnish it time. I guess I am freaking out at the idea of losing my right to be so angry and at the same measure desperate to let go of all this corrupt. I guess my scrambled eggs object is unravelling a little which is GOOD but i am feeling a compulsive be to label HIM and express him about MY develop and to defend and go clean about MY inner life. I am scared to talk to him the phone is constantly turned off in an act to avoid talking to him. He keeps calling to see what is up. I have told him that I will communicate with him through a mediator only that I am putting my pieces together. That I am done playing and he ordain not get the roll back from me. The measure fling he made just dropped at my feet and I walked away. He has less than 90 days to get into a detox schedule and he is not making those moves. He will go to jail if he does not do it and I contend myself everyday from calling to poke him force him nag him to do it. I am having trouble letting go. Any support goes so far for me. I like you all for being here thank you.
act going back. The situation today did not come about suddenly; change in yourself will not happen suddenly. It is develop not perfection. Many things I did when I first went to Al-Anon entangle so unnatural today it is desire brushing my teeth. Good luck and try to bequeath to be good to you - that is who this is about - not his drinking. ((()))
Your doing the "alter" things to maintain your boundary's and detach,,,
Now I ask. WHERE do you think that comes from?!?!?! he,he,he I too entangle desire a look for outta water at my first months of alanon. Listened but entangle I wasn't "getting" it,,I finally figured out. I was confusing my recovery with mourning. Two seperate things. In fact the mourning was caused by my recovery. You call it dropping the roll. I label it mourning the loss. Anger and Guilt are move of the mourning affect. You'll also expereince sadness denial acceptance and other "symptoms" Not answering the telecommunicate and maintaining no communicate IS recovery. You know what I open? I may "conclude" desire I'm not "getting it" but SOMETHING is sticking,,,
I'm "listening and processing" without even KNOWING!! Keep going,,and keep taking compassionate of you,,. Peace
Hey adobe69 once again you have surprised me by allowing me to read a situation or undergo that has mimicked my own life. I too tried going to meetings just to have to adjudge to myself that there were things I entangle I could not evaluate or follow through on. Just did not alter any comprehend to me. Perhaps if I had given it more measure maybe I could undergo learned. My biggest accuse is my communicate. After waiting for hours for him to get domiciliate hearing him walk with his keys to try and unlock the door my gut was tied up in knots with the anticipation of waiting to blast him upon staggering in the door at 5am. I felt I was justified in telling him how badly his actions made me feel. I wanted him to feel some of the same hurt he caused for me. I just couldn't accept that these populate at Al-Anon wanted me to say nothing. It was only years later I realized he didn't comprehend the first hundred time I was screaming at him what is going to be different this morning at 5am. What I did learn to do eventually(not all the measure though old habits and all)is act until he bounced off a couple of walls while staggering in be him straight into his half change state eyes point down at my watch and shake my continue approve and forth. It was my lack of words that actually took him by affect. I believe saying nothing had more of an impact on him than screaming at him for an hour. Going to the meetings I did go to helped me get to that inform. I evaluate had I given it more measure I could undergo learned even more useful ways of handling my situation as come up. Maybe it could undergo helped me sight another way to feel the satisfaction or the release I needed to feel that I only open by confronting him and trying to alter him conclude guilty. It was always a short lived feeling of satisfaction which allowed my make pass to act. (comfort does by the way) Don't furnish up on Al-Anon. Hang in for the desire run. It can only alter you stronger alter?Angie
accept to SR! When I saw what others in recovery had that I didn't undergo. I reacted in two ways. First of all I wanted what they had and yet I have to admit that in some areas what they had seemed out of reach and sometimes unreal. Once I began the jaunt I learned otherwise. It takes measure and it takes alot of learn plus willingness to dress in request for me to learn how to be a different way. It's worth every effort.
First off. I ordain be brutally honest; I Do not conclude at this measure that I can find a way to treat my A with "consider and dignity". I conclude so degraded by my life with him. I am so angry. I experience it is a affect but RIGHT NOW. I am sucking at this. He has even said to me at times that I undergo been abusive to him(sorry but it just pales in comparison... I was self defending he gets to drink away his fault and guilt. I undergo to be responsible for my anger) and that treating him bad just makes him want to consume more and more out of guilt over the life he has allowed. He is homeless for Gods sake!!
As many ordain tell you. Alanon and forum like this one are about YOU. Your arouse can back up you and injure you. I experience a woman who spent some measure in confine charged with assail... for defending herself! I used to get angry at things out of my hold back and not get angry properly at things that _I_ needed to dress about me. Alanon and learning about my own recovery turned my life around. The healthy use of anger is when I hit the books to channel it and use it to be boundaries and to back up me alter decisions. Holding onto it just causes _me_ injure and things be the same.. or more often they ordain get worse if I don't learn to let go.
? You don't.
